UCalgary New Student Orientation

Trouble Checking Out Your Cart?

If you're receiving an error while trying to check out, don't worry—it’s temporary! The platform we’re using, Showpass, holds seats in each cart for 10 minutes. If you can't complete your registration right away, simply wait 10 minutes and try again.

Things to Note!

• All New Student Orientation participants need to be registered to get into orientation
• Have your QR codes ready/download Showpass
• Registration opened the last week of June, and many sessions are now full
• No additional seats will be added, and no wait lists are available
• Save the QR codes after registering as you'll need it for checking into each session
• Save the PDF document you will be sent during Orientation Week — it will have crucial information about locations!

Not Sure What to Attend?

Every session offers valuable insights—the following are unique and all that's left to select!

• Set Yourself up for Academic Success – get a chance to explore what it's like to be a university student, reflect on what motivates you, and think about what you want to achieve during your time at university. We'll share some study and time management strategies that will help build your confidence and set you up for success as you start your classes.
• "U Need Fries with That" – a powerful and engaging play on consent and relationships.
